Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. I think it's important to have a distinction between a traditional fishery and a commercial fishery. The traditional fishery, the case law is very clear, Aboriginal people can harvest fish and so on and use it and trade and so on, but when it comes to the commercial side it's a bit of a different story where you need to have quotas and the only way you can get a quota is to have a test fishery. So I guess not to make it too complicated. I think through our Northern food development program we can work with the community. As I said, the overall federal fisheries is still responsible for fisheries and they set the quotas. But in terms of making fish available for local consumption, you know if you talk to our department or regional staff I think we have programs that can help facilitate that. You can get as big as you want I would think. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Just under the film industry, as I mentioned, in ENR you know they do a great project there with Mr. Stanley out of Hay River there. Are there other opportunities for other chapters as well to take advantage of this in the Northwest Territories? I know a number of trappers that have good practices and it would be nice to see that. Thank you.

Yeah, thank you. I think that'll be classified as a reality show and I think the individual was able to go out and raise funding. He had a number of sponsors including the fur harvester auction and quite a number of sponsors, local sponsors, and local producers to make the show happen. I believe, you know, if there's a whole bunch of them it probably won't be as popular, but I think it's within the realm of whoever can get out there and get some sponsors and find some producers and film crews that they can make it happen. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
